Hiroshima FF 09, Flower Candle Message

Message candles which made by students from schools around the city.

One thing I found it interesting is when these students  come back  to search their work and proudly show it to their parents.

Yuri San: Kawaii yo (they're cute)

Hiro San: So desu (yup)

Welcome to Hiroshima Flower Festival 2009. Hiroshima Flower Festival has been held every year from the 3rd to the 5th of May, during Golden Week since 1977. The festival is located on Peace Boulevard, one of the main streets in Hiroshima city and within Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park area.

My new theme for this week (or maybe longer :)). This time we're going a tour in the city. It takes about 40 minutes by train from Saijo station to Hiroshima station.

Yuri San: Nani de Hiroshima ni ikimasuka? (How are we going to Hiroshima?)

Hiro San: Densha de ikimasu (We take train)
